Toybox Titans is an independent videogame about the adventures of some action figures in a kid’s bedroom, in the 1980s. As it was the case at the time, these action figures are based on in-universe cartoons. My job in this project has been to animate the characters in cartoon form, keeping in mind that each cartoon has its own animation style (though all based in real retro cartoons of the 1980s).
Currently, we are finishing a demo of the game, as we look for funding. In this demo, the cartoon form of the main characters will be seen through a few cutscenes that will pop up at specific moments of the gameplay. I storyboarded these cutscenes.
